Heartland Payment Systems bolsters encryption

Posted on September 28, 2010 by Dissent

Ellen Messmer reports:

Heartland Payment Systems, which last year suffered a devastating data breach, has been on a mission to secure payment-card processing .

After introducing the E3 terminal for point-of-sale transactions last May, which has gone into use with about 5,000 Heartland merchant customers for encryption of sensitive cardholder data, Heartland Tuesday introduced yet another encryption device, called the E3 magnetic stripe reader wedge, which will be available next month.

Read more about how the E3 wedge works on Network World.
